Guest Policy
Farm members are allowed to have guests join them for tennis and pickleball play. During pool season, members may also have guests join them at the pool. Most social activities and special events also allow guests. Please check CourtReserve to confirm specific guest options for each activity or event.
The guest fee is $10 per day. The guest may participate in multiple activities (for example, tennis and then pool) without paying an additional fee. All special events as well as camp offerings require additional guest fees.
Cancellation Policy
Any scheduled tennis/pickleball lesson or clinic follows our 24-hour cancellation policy. Any lessons or classes canceled within 24-hours of the scheduled lesson or class will result in a full charge unless otherwise agreed upon by the member and pro.
